Food Pantry Support

So in today's post I will be focusing on our food pantries and how much they need our help and support. There are a lot of smaller pantries in Ionia County and in Montcalm as well. I think that people get focused in on the bigger ones that they are really familiar with and forget that there are small ones that need just as much help. All of our food pantries need support year round, and especially in those in-between times when there aren't any food drives going on.

Some of the most needed items are:
Peanut Butter
Soups or Stews
Proteins like Tuna or canned Chicken
Canned Fruits
Shelf Stable 100% Fruit Juices.
Dried or Canned Beans
Rice or Pasta
Personal Hygiene Items, like soaps or shampoo, toilet paper and household cleaners.


And of course if you are able, most pantries welcome monetary donations so that they can go out and buy what they need most.

So if you get the chance take a minute of your time and a few of your dollars and donate to your closest food pantry.


The Muir Christian Food Pantry is seeking donations to help them with their Easter Basket project where they anticipate preparing over 150 dinner baskets for local families.

This is what will be included in the Baskets:
Ham, Sausage, Hot Dogs, Eggs, Pancakes, Potatoes, Veggies  Pie Crust, Pudding Mix, Juice, Biscuit Mix, Margarine, and some other items including household cleaning products.

Baskets will be going out on March 19th, so if you would like to support this project please contact Patricia Davis at 989-855-2064.
